Their Philly office has one 1L from Michigan returning, so it's unlikely that they will take more Michigan people.Anonymous User wrote:Also interested in what city this was from.

Re: Michigan OCI 2017
Hey, for Posterity perhaps we should post results.
GPA: 3.62
WE: 1 year, professional but not very relevant
Journal: Secondary
IP Background: None
Markets: NYC, Chicago
Screeners: 20 from OCI, 3 from pre-OCI networking
CB invites: 16 from OCI, 2 from pre-OCI networking
CBs accepted: 9 from OCI
Offers: 4 (2 V10, 2 V20)

Re: Michigan OCI 2017
GPA: 3.15
WE: KJD
Journal: Secondary
IP: Nope
Markets: NYC, Non-Chicago Midwest, South
OCI interviews: 28
OCI Callbacks: 2
Non-OCI screeners: 3
Non-OCI callbacks: 6 (mass mail, mass mail, mass mail)
Offers: 1 (litigation boutique mass mail)
Takeaways:
1. NYC is harder than you think if you have no Northeast in your resume. I realize most of the difficulties were due to poor grades, but lack of ties was another big factor.
2. I cannot emphasize mass mailing enough. I'd have no job if it weren't for hustle. OCI is a cruel mistress.
3. Secondaries, even ones you have ties to, will ding you for going out of region. I know people who had 3.6+ GPAs who got elite Chicago offers but got dinged in my secondary target market (even though they're from the area and I'm from the state I was targeting).

Re: Michigan OCI 2017
A little late, but figured it might help this year's class:
GPA: 3.50
WE: 2 years; professional, but nothing special.
Journal: Secondary
IP Background: None
Markets: NYC, Chicago, elsewhere
Screeners: 25 from OCI, 1 from pre-OCI networking
CB invites: 19 from OCI, 1 from pre-OCI networking
CBs accepted: 13
Offers: 10 (4 V10, 1 V20; all NYC, Chicago, elsewhere)
Grades are important, but they're just a threshold. 3.5 was enough to get a DPW screener via their hospitality suite.
The keys to OCI in my experience: smile, laugh, practice interviewing, dress the part (I bought a suit and shoes specifically for OCI), get a haircut, tell good stories about your experiences, act like a human.
